Protext's new distributor

More Atari shows!

Following on from the success of the Goodmans Atari shows in London, Birmingham and Glasgow in April and May, it has now been announced that there will almost certainly be more in October.

It's good to see that the Atari market can generate enough support for people like Mike Goodman to put time and money into organising something as big as these shows.

Elysium - a new web page

Just as we thought Jon Nott's Fujizone couldn't be beaten along comes this new contender by Ashley Seabrook.

Elysium must contain the largest number of links on any Atari web page. Also, unlike many pages, he actually catalogued them and presented them in a very easy to understand way. There are a number of other Atari related areas and everyone is well designed, well written and interesting.

Jon Nott's Fujizone site has been updated. It now features an improved interface and layout. The graphics have also been jazzed up!

IRC

If you have internet access, why not try out Internet Relay Chat (IRC). This enables you to talk to people around the globe in real-time for the cost of a local phone call.

Atari users have the benefit of two channels, the main one being #atari. Here you'll get to chat with some of the famous faces in the Atari world. Just remember that most of the talk isn't actually Atari related!

The other channel - #zatari - is purely for Zetnet-Atarians. Meetings are sometimes held on this channel to enable Atari users connected to the net via Zetnet to ask other Zetnet-Atarians questions.

To get involved with IRC, you need to get hold of a suitable IRC program - such as AtarIRC or FracIRC.
